Default Help me! Street/Strip wheel/tire combo

I've been going over a few possible ways of achieving what I want in my head and am not sure what will work best for me. I want at least 15x10s out back, but would I am also considering 15x12s with a mini-tub. For example, say my car is in the 520 rwhp range, is a 15x10 going to give me the tire options I need to dead hook the car. It's a 6-speed car w/ a 3.89 gear. What size slick would you guys recommend on that size rim as well?

I would like to run 15x10s as it will be a lot more cost effective, but I want to hook hard and not have the wheels sticking way out past my fenders.

Thanks,
Alex

15x8 or 15x10 will do fine.

Just get the right Backspacing. 8=5.5 10=7.5

Your tire options are good either way.
